"The Sun Went Down Too Quick"

A few minutes ago I shot this picture while driving home from the grocery store. The sky was so beautiful with almost no flare from the sun. 12-15-2018 Perryton, TX 

 

I made a trip to Liberal, Kansas today. I needed to pick up a few things before I leave for Christmas. It's just about a 100 mile round trip, but with all the other things I did, I was very tired, and failed to get my blog posted before 6 o'clock. The last big job I did was buy groceries. I needed a lot of things to get me ready for Christmas. When driving home from the store the sky was lovely to look at. The sun was hidden behind clouds with just a tiny bit showing through. It was almost ready to set so I stopped and took a picture. When I finished putting up the groceries I ate a snack, and leaned back in my recliner for some quick rest. I am getting anxious for Christmas to be over. The age thing is too much for all the hustle, and bustle. I think I'm trying to pack too much fun into it this year. Too many ideas, and not enough energy to use them all. New Year's will be a big relief for me. Twill be back to business as usual. I hope the memories of so many of my friends, and loved ones will fly away. It's been hard to keep them off my mind. It's almost like we've had a huge reunion, and now it's time to say good-bye again.

Tomorrow is Sunday, but I will be busy again with working toward getting ready to leave Friday. House cleaning, laundry, baking, packing, and getting the car ready. All within the three days I won't be working on my other job. I will get it all done, but there won't be much time to spare. The world will have to keep turning without my help. Before this day ended I wasn't sure If I was going or coming. I mentioned something to that effect at the store when I was checking out today. A lady heard me and said, “ I think it's something in the air because I've been feeling the same way.” When you leave your debit card in the machine, and it takes two people five times to make you understand what they are telling you, that's serious. I don't think they make a pill for that. Anyway Christmas only comes once a year, and I think I can survive it again.

I feel like the New Year will be a real blessing for me. I don't know what's in store, but I am sure it will be good. My thoughts, and prayers go out to all my readers. I have the same feeling for all of you.

God Bless
